Pièce de groupe, 1997, Reprise en 2014

CRITIQUE

«The urgent rhythmic dancing and drumming, with its strong Central African base, by the nine-member troupe was unrelenting. As a group, the dancers operate akin to a pack, each gesture delivered with power, the physicality demanding on their bodies. Central to Maboungou’s gift is that she plays with energy, embracing mystery and the unknown. That wisdom transcends space and time, and I felt that immensity of spirit extend to the wider audience with an assured embrace.»– Philip Szporer, The Dance Current, janvier 2015

«…an unforgettable contemporary African dance.» «Mozongi is a dance of tremendous strength and purpose» «In this immensely powerful performance, a mere four dancers manage to suggest the presence of thousands.»– Linde-Howe-Beck, The Gazette, 2001
